Holton and Vest were the two biggest culprits in the 7th. They are going to be used in leverage in the playoffs. But you needed more.

Skubal needs to pull a Mickey Lolich...3 complete games in a 4 game series. Really earn that $400 million contract. /s

Use his closer in the 7th inning? He tried using him in the 8th inning last week. Even worse results.

Who said Vest is our closer?

But it's great that we have ~15 prospects in the minors who may help us win games in 2029. Or not...

Vest is the opener for the closer. New approach.

That was really a bad way to audition for the rest of the season. I know it’s just one game, but it’s not exactly putting your best foot forward.

Yankees fans are very chill too right now, I’m sure.

Yankees' relievers acquired at the deadline (Jake Bird, David Bednar, Camilo Doval) vs. Marlins tonight: 2.1 IP, 9 Hs, 7 ERs, 2 BBs, 3 Ks, 2 HRs, 2 blown saves, 1 loss

Awww, that made my day, especially the 2 blown saves in 2 innings.

As for non-contenders, Pittsburgh and Colorado had a wild one. Pittsburgh had a 9-1 lead after the 1st inning. 16-10 going into the 8th inning. Colorado won 17-16!

And Bricineo who I heard  Pittsburgh wanted for BedNar had two bombs tonight. Harris can't win for losing.

Good Lord, that Yankees collapse tonight, and that Rockies win are truly epic!

What an astonishing sport this is. Honestly, I feel nowhere near as bad as I did. And actually, it’s nice to hear that that the guys in the minors did well tonight. Takes some of the  sting out of it  

Honestly. There’s no way I could manufacture as much drama and excitement by sitting in a room by myself as I did by following our game tonight and hearing about all these other amazing games.  

Beisbol bean berry, berry good to me, tank you berry much!

A day later and this one still stings.  Worse loss of the year for me, given the circumstances.  Hoping for a nice Skubal performance to reset things.
